Adultery And Other Stories

Description

Delighful stories about love, lust, friendship, betrayal and the ways of the heart An ageing and unsuccessful poet whose life and literary views have been overtaken by rap artists, celebrity-hungry American students, Indian archaeologists and other hustlers. His patient and abandoned wife who sets out on her voyage of discovery. London?s Indian gigolos and their American victims or predators. A small-town mathematics-teacher-turned-cheese-impresario. An Englishman ? waiting for a transplant that would enable him to start a family ? exchanging desperate emails with a prospective donor?s relative. As these disparate elements come together in a delightful mix, we encounter the tragedy ? of good intentions, in monumental proportions. Relationships fold and unfold as faith and the seventh commandment are tested and broken in these enjoyable stories.Farrukh Dhondy was born in 1944 in Pune.
